Australian filmmaker Robert Connolly (Balibo, Paper Planes, The Bank) follows his smash hit The Dry - which played at Nova for six full months through 2021 - with an adaptation of Tim Winton’s acclaimed novella, BLUEBACK.

Starring Mia Wasikowska, Radha Mitchell, and Eric Bana, BLUEBACK follows the story of Abby: a young girl living with her environmentalist mother on Australia’s pristine west coast. While diving, Abby forms a bond with a wild blue groper living in her local reef, sparking a lifelong passion for preserving the world’s oceans.

Sure to be a luscious showcase of Australian talent, landscapes and wildlife, BLUEBACK is a heart-warming tale of family, friendship, and the power of one person to make a difference.
